After getting seriously torn up inside earlier this week between praying for Good Christian Attitudes and wanting to tear something out with my teeth over sharing the Wedding Spotlight, I decided to chill out and enjoy the ride. I went shopping for a wedding dress.
My housemate and I braved cold, winter winds and unceasing drizzles to take on the bridal shops in both Kingston and Manuka - Yuppyvilles of suburbia Canberra. I had no idea gown-sampling could be so physically demanding. I was seriously pooped by the time I crumpled into a chair at Choices for dinner.
For the record, La Belle Bridal Boutique in Kingston and Nocturne Design in Manuka have some of the prettiest stuff I've seen. The staff are also really good at taking the tension off what already is a mentally exhausting event sans family.
If you're EVER gonna buy a gown, you can skip Momento in Manuka altogether. For starters, they don't specialise in the sale of bridal gowns, their selection is limited and somewhat wanting in design, and one of their sales staff seriously needs training in diplomacy. I spent a good deal of the time getting gown upon gown dumped on top of me while this little horror of a salesgirl referred to me as "DAH-ling" in barely civil tones as she insinuated that the lousy make of the gowns had nothing to do with how terrible I look in them. Also, one of the gowns had a corset so badly made that the metal piece just about ripped a piece of my flesh off because it was poking into my side. They buffered that part with TISSUE.
Classy.
